Well put; there's a great appeal to assembling the wiki from individual tiddler files. I did some experimentation with Dropbox's JavaScript API a couple of years ago and concluded that performance was a bit of an obstacle: the trouble is that HTTP is an expensive protocol, hence all the various hacks (like image sprites) that are designed to help pack multiple resources into a single network request. There is also an issue with atomicity of writing to multiple files; it's hard to cope elegantly with the browser tab being closed (or network connectivity being lost) in the middle of a save/sync operation. Meanwhile, and somewhat orthogonally, one of the characteristics of TiddlyWiki that makes it particularly interesting for experimenting with distributed webby stuff is actually that it (can be) a completely self contained single file. For systems like Tahoe-LAFS and (possibly IPFS) the problem of serving a single file is a bit easier than serving multiple files while maintaining the same relative addressing.
